It was really good, although mine came out more like chocolate cake.

These brownies are delicious--smooth, rich, and decadent. They were pretty easy to make. I also substituted Andes mints for the chips and I didn't bother with the mints on top for a garnish. Just one problem I have with them: they are difficult to cut so that they look nice--they fall apart in your hands. I was planning to bake these at Christmas and give them as gifts, but I can't really do that since they look so sketchy.

I tried this recipe the other day to bring over to my mom's house. Everyone raved about it. If you are a chocolate & mint lover this is a must. I did not find the mint chips but I did buy the andes mints and break each mint into about 6 little pieces.

The brownies are rich and chocolatey. They are not cake like and not chewy. They are in between. I tend to bake everything I make a little slower than the recipe. I turned the temperature down about 10-20 degrees lower, and the brownies were still done before the time on the recipe calls for. I would suggest checking on your brownies around 27 minutes like the other reviews say.

The shaving was slightly tedious and the messy on your hands, but made the brownies look AMAZING when finished. I love the cute striped shavings on the top!

My boyfriend and I love Andes mints, and this is now one of my favorite desserts!

If you love decadent choclate recipes then this is def for you. I made this over the holidays and pratically got sick I ate too many of them. Everyone loved them and the Andes mints were perfect in this recipe. I did make the brownie batter from scratch but I bet if you u just used a box mix it would prob just turn out as good.

Do not overcook. 27 minutes in my oven was enough.
Does taste better the next day after being in the refrigerator.
I would not bother with the andes mints on top-not worth the effort and it certainly didn't look like the picture when done.
( I plan to l go back to my usual mint brownie recipe

These brownies are one of my favorites! I accidentally put all of the mints in to the brownie batter but there were still sooo good! Maybe even better that way? A must make! They will be gone before next morning.

Next to chocolate and peanut butter chocolate and mint is the best! I think these brownies are good even without the frosting. I had no problem finding the mint Andes chips next to the other chocolate chips at my store (Meijer. The recipe was super easy but I would hold of on making the frosting until the brownies have cooled since the frosting takes 5 minutes or less to make. The brownies were rich, moist and chewy. They were puffed up when I took them out of the oven and I thought they may be cake-like (which I don't like as much but as they cooled it fell and the inside was fudgy though not as fudgy looking and dense as in the photo. I would make these again.

I made these brownies for a baby shower at work and everyone loved them. They are rich and moist. I will definitely make these again. I too, could not find the baking chips so I chopped up Andes mints, about 2 3/4 boxes.

Yum! I found these brownies very rich & indulgent. This recipe can easily be modified to your liking. I wanted to use ingredients I had at home; therefore, I made the following changes: 1 In place of the Andes, I used Lindt Peppermint Dark Chocolate truffles. Just chopped them up and mixed in last. I used 14 truffles. Soooo good. 2 I made a cookie crust of 1 roll GS Thin Mint cookies, crushed with 2 TB butter. 3 Used a smaller dish so the brownies would be thicker than the product of a 9x13. The dish I used is in between a 9x13 and an 8x8. 4 Baked for only 30 minutes. Waited till 90% cool, then frosted, and grated one more truffle on top.
The end result was fabulous! Delicious served warm w/ a dollop of whip or vanilla bean.
